citadel xri?

The attack light stays red and the keypad is not working

I ve taken the battery out, plugged it bk in and knocked the alarm off by in putting the 4 digit code.

Any ideas?
I never use the alarm but it went off recently when the electric went off

The fuse to the left protects the STROBE +ve terminal 19,the Bell +ve terminal D and the 13v +ve terminal 21

The fuse to the right is in the - ve battery line and prevents excessive current being drawn from the battery,

The fuse will also blow if the battery is inadvertently reversed polarity connected during installation.

isolate the power to the panel and check...

-ve battery line fuse
1.6A 20mm glass quick blow.

If the fuse is intact you have a battery issue

The fuse is one of two mounted onto the pcb,the other fuse is for the strobe.
